Leviticus 25:35-38
_ _ if thy brother be waxen poor, ... relieve him — This was a most benevolent provision for the poor and unfortunate, designed to aid them or alleviate the evils of their condition. Whether a native Israelite or a mere sojourner, his richer neighbor was required to give him food, lodging, and a supply of money without usury. Usury was severely condemned (Psalms 15:5; Ezekiel 18:8, Ezekiel 18:17), but the prohibition cannot be considered as applicable to the modern practice of men in business, borrowing and lending at legal rates of interest. |
Leviticus 25:35
A sojourner — Understand it of proselytes only, for of other strangers they were permitted to take usury, Deuteronomy 23:20. |
Leviticus 25:35
And if thy brother be waxen poor, and (r) fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
(r) In Hebrew it is, if his hand shake: meaning if he stretch forth his hand for help as one in misery. |
